Looking at what they are doing I'd say the information being dug out will
be of value to the OSM community and help us understand a little more about
the people who add value to the maps. It might even help us on the
retention rate and bring the experience of the average mapper up a little.
It's
Studies and surveys are interesting for a better understanding of our
community, but I'm a bit afraid that the results of this one will be highly
biased by one single thing: language.

In an ideal world the way to get a proper random sample would be to select
OSM mappers randomly then message them. Hopefully you'd get better than
90% response rate to keep it statistically meaningful.

It is important that OpenStreetMap keep the use of maps non-commercial.
Either the survey doesn't understand about OSM or since it does have a
subject matter specialist on board I'd be inclined to think its surveying
the perception of the mappers. I strongly suspect many think it is totally
Ok, then it is the last option, my english is not good enough for this

Of course people should be able to make money out of OSM. But as pointed
out previously, in some countries, it seems that

It is a genuine survey, just those middle questions did not prompt any
sensible answers which is why I gave up :)
It sounds silly but how does one tell if it is a genuine academic survey or
not? I'd like to see an https link to a known trusted web site and not

It's actually quite an interesting survey by looking at the questions you
can often get an understanding of what is in the questioner's mind.
One of the most difficult bits is getting a good sample so please go back
and complete it even if it doesn't appear to make sense to you.

I have some questions about this survey.
First of all, you never explain what this survey is for. Is it
academic, is it commercial? You mention names of professors, but not
institutions. You also never explicitly state what you're studying.
Knowing these would put me at ease.
Secondly, you don't
